Today, a customer at the fast-food joint I work at gave me a pitying look and asked, "How's that liberal arts degree treating ya?" FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, as I rung up a customer's groceries, he gave me a pitying look and said I'd have a "real job" if I'd only studied harder. FML
Today, working at a fast food restaurant, I was berated by a customer for a good two minutes. It's okay though because she ended with, "Sorry, I forget you all are real people." FML
Today, I was working the drive-through at McDonald's. I greeted a customer with a, "Hi, how are you doing today?" His response: "Better than you." FML
Today, at my new job, I took some food out to a customer. Walking away, I heard a lady mumble, "Oh my God, you could never pay me enough to wear that." FML
Today, a customer gave me the dirtiest look ever and muttered, "Goody two-shoes prick" after I asked if he'd like to donate a few cents to charity. FML
Today, while checking out a couple at work, I handed them their receipt and wished them a good day. The woman promptly pulled her husband to the side, and whispered to him about how much of a "fucking idiot" I was for making the prices so high. I work at McDonald's. FML
Today, at work, I put on a smile and went to take an elderly gentleman's order. He looked at me, asked if I'd stick a finger in his sweet tea to make it sweeter, then complained that it was a shame I wasn't "on the menu". FML
Today, at the store, I didn't hear the cashier when she asked if I had a loyalty card. She took one look at my naturally bitchy-looking face and muttered "It's my JOB to ask, jeez." FML
Today, at work, I’ll admit that I wasn’t in a good mood. I work in fast food, and I went to hand this guy his food without looking and he didn’t grab it. I got frustrated so I FINALLY looked. With an equally as upset look, I noticed the guy didn’t have arms, so I’d just been shoving food in his face. FML
Today, making small talk with my coworkers, I said a restaurant I'd tried recently was "superb". They all gave me weird looks, and one said, "Someone's trying too hard to sound smart." Now I've got a rep as a pseudo-intellectual douchebag. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Say that you are okay, just so you don't ruin everybody else's day.

Speaking on behalf of the "smart" degrees, I apologize.

Even if everyone got a college degree we would still need people to dig ditches and flip burgers.

Obviously you have a liberal arts degree or this wouldn't have offended you so badly

How is the OP offended? Posting to FML is often to get a laugh not because someone is particularly offended.

While that's the idea, it doesn't always seem to be the case. Especially if you moderate. Haha

I don't have a liberal arts degree and that would offend me. you're just as bad as he is. and just an FYI, I went for psychology.

So if someone called you a thief you would be offended only if you actually were a thief?

As horribly rude as that is, it's also really ******* funny.

Once, while I was working in retail, I was busting my butt to help a picky customer, and offered to call other stores to find what he was looking for. He sneered, "Ooh, you're so smart. Good thing you've got such a high paying job." That "high paying job" paid my way through eight years of university, and now I'm a doctor.

I bet the customer doesn't even have a degree or plans in getting one.

Heres a lesson for everyone. Dont choose retarded careers

What's to say that's his career? Having a job is important if you want to keep the lights on.

Here's a lesson for everyone: take any job you can (as long as you don't burn out!) to earn some extra cash because life is expensive.
